NEWBURYPORT, Mass, April fight inflation by slashing prices by have increased business from 10 to two other communities.

Cash registers jangled merrily in this seaport city of 15,000. The eity of Leominster and the town of Amsebury aaxnounced they would

fall in line tomorrow with similar reductions in prices in response to President Truman's appeal. Requests for information poured in from other cities including Brattleboro, Vt.; Ansonia, Conn; Springfield, Worcester, Lowell, Haverhill and Portsmouth, N. H. Wholesalers Promise Support

Wholesalers began promising their support in the fight to reduce prices. A manufacturer of work clothes offered to cut prices up to 15 per cent on everything except denims, A chocolate manufacturer announced a 10 per cent rebate to Newburyport retailers handling his product. The New England Hardware Dealers association investi gated the plan to see if it could be put in operation throughout New England. ‘ Tuesdays normally are dull business days here and stores usually close at noon. However, when the plan was put into effect yesterday merchants found business “surpris-

ingly good.”

Reaction Wonderful

Consumer reaction was “wonderful,” they said, and customers the few stores that failed to join in the “Newburypert plans.” The price cut was sponsored by the Northeast Essex County Development council for a 10-day trial ii hope: the the idea would snowball into a nation-wide trend that would force prices down. “Clerks are happier and customers are happier,” Secretary Norman J. Randell said. “It seems to be working very well and we're all pleased.

' Of course we started during a

normally dull part of the week. Thursday is payday and Friday and Saturday are usually busy. They'll tell the story.” Mr. Randell estimated the busiNess increase as follows: Filling stations and auto accessories 40 to

60 per cent; jewelry 10 to 15 peri cent; hardware 15 to 20 per cent; men’s and women’s furnishings 25 to 30 per cent; department stores 20 to 25 per cent and food 10 to 15 per cent. ‘Gillis Supports Plan Stores, decked with red, white and blue banners indicating participation in the drive, displayed signs reading: “O.

(Bossy) Gillis, a political pepperpot and longtime mayor. He said he believed the plan would “sweep across the country and.dump high prices in the Pacific ocean.” At his filling station, Mr. Gillis refunded 5 per cent on gasoline, 10 per cent on accessories, The experiment was watched eagerly by neighboring communities and department stores in Boston sent representatives to report on buyer reaction. -

Merchants Pledge To Cut Prices

to cut prices 10 to 50 per cent for a week, starting tomorrow, “to see if we can't get the price-cut ball rolling a little faster” =

The plan, similar to one adopted by merchants of Newburyport, Mass, was outlined at a hastily called meeting last night at which Movie Actor Arthur Treacher, honorary mayor of this unincorporated town of 30,000, presided. ? Jeweler Joseph Houston said a committee would continue today to invite merchants to join the plan. Of, 54 contacted yesterday, 48 signed up, and they include practically every kind of retail business,” he said. “We'd like to do it for longer than a week, but unless we. get support from suppliers and wholesalers, we can’t make it indefinite. We just thought maybe if enough places do this, the manufacturers and wholesalers will string along and we’ll get prices down where we all know they should be.” He said merchants were, pledging. themselves to cut prices on everything but “fair trade items on which we can’t legally tring.”

Near 1920 Peak

Times Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, April 23.—Farm real estate in Indiana was selling at prices 131 per cent higher in March than the average per acre since 1935-39, the bureau of agricultural economics reported today. According ‘to BAE index figures the present prices are pushing plose to the 1920-level which resulted in the boom-bust period for Hoosier farmers after world war I. The figure, based on 1912-14 as 100 per cent, shows 1920 Indiana f and prices at 161, with March this Year at 158, Commenting on these figures, BAE economists said: “The further sharp increase in land values during the last fourmonth period in most areas along ‘with the continuing high volume of transfers reflect the continued operation of strong inflationary forces in the farm land market. “Such forces stem largely from the fact that prices of farm commodities advanced to new record levels in 1946, ‘advanced further in the first quarter of 1947, and prospects still appear favorable. Farm income also established new records in 1946, and 1947 prospects appear favorable. Also significant has been the. large accumulations of relatively liquid funds by farmers and others along with the plentiful supply of credit at favorable rates of interest. “Perhaps the leveling off in the value trend in the group of far western states is an early indication of the realizgtion by buyers that the remaining high income years may be limited, thus giving rise to an increased resistance to higher farm land prices.”

ooms Business In

Detailed Operations Are Complicated

By RICHARD BERRY The circus is not all fun, Beneath fhe surface galety—all the average circus-goer sees—is one of the most detailed operations of big business. For example, a circus does business in every state. That means it must be familiar with 48 sets of corporation and tax laws. But that’s only one of the headaches. The operation of Cole Bros, Circus, which comes here May 2 for a 3-day run is an example of the infinitesimal detail involved in running a circus. Cole Bros., second largest circus in the country, is an Indiana corporation. It has gone through bankruptcy once and was burned out once, but its officials stuck to their guns and today are making a modest return for their stockholders.

4 Months’ Planning , * When Cole Bros. comes here May 2, it will climax four months of planning for the event. Early in January, while the circus was still in“its winter camp at Sarasota, Fla. its advance agent was here making arrangements. He had to lease a lot, get an operating license, contract for water and electricity supplies and - make arangements for plumbing (mandatory under ‘an ‘Indianapolis ordinance). There also was the question of food for the animals and for the 600 circus folk. The streetcar company was contacted for special cars to the circus. The advance man had to get cinders—in case the lot was muddy when the circus came,

Matter of Publicity

And there '%vas the important matter of publicity. Posters were spread, newspaper advertising contracts were made and spot announcements were bought on local radio stations. These and dozens of other detafls bring the advance agent to the city five or six times before the arrival of the circus. The advance agent gives a synopsis of all he has done to a “24-hour man,” who preceeds the circus by one day. The 24-hour man marks the route from the train to the circus ground by tagging telephone poles along the route.

Seldom Miss Engagement Circus routing is planned so the show will hit a large city every week-end. Between large cities, they play one or two shows in smaller towns along the route. They play one of the smaller towns every day. The circus seldoni misses an engagement, for the advance agent spends about $1000 in every smaller tom on advertising alone. In larger - cities he spends © several thousands. Total expenses for Cole Bros., according to Fred E. Schortemeier, Indianapolis attorney and general counsel for the circus, are shorn $7500 a day.

Give Indoor Shows Admissions during the 160-day circus season bring in between $1% million and $2 million. Additional revenue is gained through sideshows, concessions and cowboy concerts. Total of these is about equal expenses. The circus manages to make a profit by operating zoos and giving indoor shows during the winter season, Mr. Schortemeir says. Cole Bros.’ formerly was Cole Bros.-Clyde Beatty Circus, Inc. It was incorporated in Indianapolis in 1935,

Bought Back Equipment Two years later, still during the depression, - the corporation went into bankruptcy. Some of the original stockholders bought back the equipment and formed Cole Bros. circus. ; The show, then wintering at Rochester, Ind, was almost destroyed in 1939 by a fire . which burned its winter quarters. Most of the equipment was burned and some of the animals had to be shot. . Before the fire department had left the blaze, Col. Zack Terrell, Cole Bros, president had called Ringling Bros. circus in Florida,
